clamav-milter version 0.80j on elrond.itctel.comI am looking for some ideas on leading edge covers. 1/16 plywood is notavailable in my state and is very expensive to ship as well as buy fromsuppliers. I purchased some aluminum valley material to use but can'tfigure out how to attach it to the wood. I know there are people who haveused aluminum. Could some one respond as to how the attachment was carriedout. Has anyone used the 6 ply tag board mentioned by Bernard P. in some ofthe literature that is available? Would it hold its shape well enough to dowhat ever it is supposed to do. It will be hangered at my farm so it won'tbe getting wet and at the speed Pietenpols fly and the noise they make, Ican't imagine bird strikes being a problem. Thanks for any information youare able to share with me.RalphAt Raymond________________________________________________________________________________
